Vertiv (维谛技术) announced the acquisition of European company KES, according to a report attributed to Shanghai Securities News (上海证券报). KES provides fluid management, commissioning, and load-testing services for high-density liquid-cooled data centers and other applications. The source identifies KES through these service activities but does not supply its full legal name.

The report places the transaction within Vertiv’s acquisition history. It states that Vertiv acquired 10 companies with differing business characteristics over the past four years. The disclosed KES activities concern services around liquid-cooled infrastructure rather than a stated addition of GPU, server, or data-center capacity.

Financial terms and closing mechanics are not provided. The Telegram text reports an acquisition announcement without separately specifying a closing date, purchase price, funding method, or conditions. Its commentary about stronger service capabilities and potential profitability is an industry assessment, not a reported financial outcome from the acquisition.
